The Legacy of Reginald Perrin Episode 1

- Twelve years after Leonard Rossiter's death in 1984 this short-lived series was made. Although it's not the same without Reggie, it's fun to watch all the other regulars. This is episode 1. If enough people are interested in watching, I'll post the other 6.

I didn't get where I was today by watching The Legacy of Reginald Perrin.
Just been watching the original series, researched a few characters and this came up! I didn't get where I am today from not researching a few characters! Never knew about this series tho...cock up on the advertising front. BBC... squeeze a fiver from a penny. Well worth it! Good ol' Reggie may he finally rest in peace! Thank you for sharing!
Love "cock up on the advertising front" well said.
I never meant to watch this clip. Cock up on the computer front. I didn't get where I am today by watching old Reggie Perrin clips on RUclips. I am not really a RUclips person. Funny Johnnies, RUclips clips.
GREAT......, “SUPER” ! !!
Neither Mrs CJ nor I have ever not watched Reginald Perrin.
Neither have I . It's too Quotesville Arizona. About as relevant as the Insoluble suppositories that you can buy from Grot.
@@henrybyrd5402 I’ve said it before - I’m simply not an I-don’t-watch-Reggie-Perrin person.
Henry Byrd So sad there's no more Reggie. Still, it's no good crying over a bird in the bush - make hay while the cows come home.
Better than I expected. Great, or do I mean super, to see all the old faces again.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Many thanks posting this! Loved The Fall & Rise..series. Never saw this first time it was on.
Well done....D.Nobbs triumphs yet again , , and the lovely familiar cast carry it off so well. More please and thankyou!
Thank you so much for posting this! I have read the books, but, living in the US, I never thought I would be able to see the fourth series. Super.
Great! :)
Smashing.
...bit late to the party.
@@Yellowswift3 , Super.
Loved the original and on the basis of the first episode I think I'm going to like this series.
R.I.P. R.I.P.
I didn’t get where I am today.. On the basis of a first episode.. C.J. 🤣
Not a clue this existed…i think I was around 9 when this aired..appreciate the upload ;)
Oh how times have changed. At the end of this clip 'On BBC2 now the epic story of Cecil Rhodes' . Aside from that Rossiter was a comic genius.
Ah back when they were praising colonialism instead of demonising white people.
Not sure which is worse. 😏
This is better than I expected. Have to say that Sally-Jane Spencer (Linda) still looks great - or even, super!
The vicar played by the late Gerald Sim, is the same one - who conducted Reggie's memorial service when Reggie was disguised as Martin Wellbourne in the last episode of series 1.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing :)
He is also the same vicar at the To the Manor Born.
Reggie was disguised as an Italian for the service, to find his wife was dating Henry Possit.
Brilliant.. great.. Super.. !!!
Many thanks for posting. As with the original series, this is also very funny.
I had forgotten about this series. Nice find! More/
Thanks for posting!!
You're welcome!
I think this shows just how great the cast was for RP not just Leonard Rossiter
It was a good attempt to cash in on the formulae, but without Reginald Perrin, none of the other characters were strong enough on thier own to carry it. The only exception was Jimmy, which did spawn a fairly sucessful spin off series, Fairly Secret Army, written by David Nobbs. The first series was script edited by John Cleese, whose training films company was responsible for the series. The series did not have a laughter track. Nobbs only started work on the show when he turned down an offer to write a spin-off sitcom for Manuel of Fawlty Towers. However even Geoffrey Palmers Jimmy wasnt enough to carry it for more than 13 episodes.
Leonard Rossiter the LEGEND
... isn't in this, and it's painfully obvious.
Never seen or heard of it till today. Saw the opening episode. Something missing. Can't quite put my finger on it...
RIP Geoffrey Palmer.
I said above how good it would be to see a reunion of all those still alive. Think the only ones surviving are Tom (Tim Preece), Linda ( Sally Jane Spencer), David ( Bruce Bould), Prue (Teresa Watson), and Joan ( Sue Nicholls). There would need to be new characters too.
One of the immediate differences is in how gray and boring the clothes style is here. People take the piss out of 70s fashion, but at least it was more colourful and varied.
Seventies fashion was revolting. At least the sixties had style.
I watch the last episode of the original series this morning and I thought I'd try and find Legacy on youtube as I missed it when it was originally shown.
I didn't realise until just now that Bruce Bould and Theresa Watson were/are married in real life
Tks for posting this classic.
Wow, what a Premise! I can't wait to see the rest of this already spectacular series! Good show! (no pun intended) :-D
the four books were brilliant even better than the TV series. I wish i could get hold of a"A fairly secret army" on DVD
Fairly Secret Army is, or was, on RUclips.
Thankyou 🎉
Brilliant!!!!
Nice to see a young Patricia Hodge as Ms Hackstraw. She later played the mother in "Miranda" (such fun!)
THE GREATEST.English Comic Since Peter Sellers 😳I Say Martyn Clunes seires Is GOOD too BUT Reggie WAS THE MAN !!!g
Yes, please do.
this could and probably should have been better especially considering the credits.....
but still great to see the wonderful cast reprising their now iconic roles tho
The couple that play David and Prue Harris-Jones are married in real life.
Wow! That's quite funny. They do look like a real couple.
Do they dress identically and finish each others’ sentences?
Every program I've seen with Gerald Sim in the cast, he always seems to be playing a Vicar.
You may want to see an episode of the Avengers called 'The rotters' where he plays a psychopathic killer!
Sue Nicholls must’ve been busy at this point- wasn’t she also already playing Audrey in Corrie?
Like was said many years ago (slightly modified) "This show is made from the shadow of a crow that starved to death"
OH LIONEL... ANOTHER GREAT SHOW.....
Still good
The Blues Brothers 2000 of cult British sitcoms. Nice to see the old characters again, but...the writing and performance style has not changed a whit since 1978, and now comes across as far too 'safe' and dry... and the absence of the heart and soul of the series is a pall the show cannot ever fully overcome. That said, this is absolutely brilliant stuff compared to the "Legacy" of our own time, the embarrassingly bad Still Open All Hours.
Still Open All Hours is *H. O. R. R. I. F. I. C.*
Geoffrey Palmer here isn't very Uncle Jimmy. I keep expecting him to bring Judi Dench out of the woodwork.
Really poor and cringing to watch compared to the original. I don't know why they bothered really
A talented cast of accomplished actors .. and yet the acting and timing seem way off here. The writing also falls short for me, compared to the original three books and the series based on these.
Lovely to see cj
People are selling the Fairly Secret Army series on ioffer. They are probably VHS rips, but there are many on ioffer.
Thanks for posting this. It was good to see what the writers attempted, but I find this to be a pale attempt to carry on the legacy.
The script now makes the characters faun in ways that they never used to, and is a by-the-numbers, not-very-well-written sitcom, in no way worthy of the biting satire of the original. Shame.
Be great, or should I say super, to do a reunion with those still with us. Not many though. Tom, Linda, David, Pru and Joan-and I think that’s it.
I will. Sometime later this week.
Does anyone know why in the series at the commune, Tom was played by Leslie Schofield, yet here he is played again by Tim Preece?
Thanks
Bit of cock up on the comedy writing front...
Most of them are doing their best, I suppose. But it doesn't quite work.
Im going to leave something to everybody "for a rainy day"
An umbrella!
I didn't get where I am today by looking a gift horse in the bush.
What happened to Perrin's actor son Mark?
🙏
Super
Meh, pure nostalgia. Heavy use of catchphrases, but not really in the spirit of the original. Geoffrey Palmer feels more like his 80s sitcom self than Uncle Jimmy.
Can understand why Tony wasn't involved but how come Reg & Elizabeth's own son Mark was eliminated from his estate? I knoe he was a scrounger at times but goodness knows what that would make Jimmy? Can't believe he'd leave his own son off the list!?
Trevor Adams, who played Tony Webster in the Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin, had given up the acting profession in 1982 to study law that lasted 12 years. Adams, did make a return to acting in the 90s. However, he was too late to re-join the cast of The Legacy of Reginald Perrin in 1996, because writer David Nobbs had wrongly assumed Adams was still studying law. Someone else who didn't appear in The Legacy of Reginald Perrin was Peter Cartwright - the man who used to blow his nose loudly on the train.
I read somewhere that they didn't continue with the character of Mark as he was quite a funny character and it was felt comedy detracted from Reggie - which I though was a bit daft. He was a great character (much more so than Linda) and had the featiuring Mark more would, I think, have enhanced an already fantastic show. I don't think he was even mentioned after S1.
He is at least mentioned in the novels, which include quite a few storylines that weren't used in the shows, including some fairly dark ones. I forget which novel mentions this (either "Better World" (S3) or "Legacy?"), but in one of them it's stated that Mark had been killed whilst on a theatre tour of Africa - I think he was caught up in a revolution or something.
Trevor Adams struggled with alcoholism and actually got fired from his job. So decided to quit law and return to acting. He badly wanted to be part of this but the producers didn't get in touch because they assumed he wouldn't be available or interested in returning when really he was on welfare and needed work. He was interviewed by The Mirror around this time and disclosed all of this......
Iolanthe? Wasn't that Gilbert & Sullivan?
Yes. He was born during the Clinthorpe Players' production of Iolanthe. Had he been born a year later he would have been Reginald Pirates of Penzance Perrin.
@@SaintSwithinsDay good call, could never appreciate opera, I leave that to the upper class prigs. Sorry ... not that I'm calling duccio an upper class prig, which I'm sure you're not ...sorry.
Blimey, they've all aged terribly.
As no doubt YOU have/will
We all do that don't we.
CJ looked pretty much the same.
Joan Greengross has aged alright, and as someone said CJ looks similar.
Some age better than others? If you can't afford cosmetic surgery, try hemorrhoid cream you back biting bitches.
October 5th, 1984
I remember watching this when it aired, just not as funny as the original 70s show.
Even more depressing than the original series. Talk about flogging a dead horse.
Oh, do shut up Jimmy!
wait. SO this ISN'T The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin?
I thought the old bossy bastard looked like he was suffering from stage 4 cancer.
What a con.
I wanted to see the 'original' [not that I knew there was anything BUT the original... I'll read the book]
He was performing at 83, you're just nasty.
Woeful .
Super!
I didn't get where i am today by being an aromatheraphist in Harrogate.....
Super
